USB-C to Firewire 800?

I have an old (Late 2008) MacBook Pro with a Firewire 800 port and two USB-A ports. I recently purchased a third party USB-C external drive. I am using the USB-A ports already, so is it possible to adapt the USB-C drive to the Firewire 800 port on my MacBook Pro? Thank you for your help!

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

No, you’re better off getting a powered USB-A hub and connecting 2+ devices to that.
